OIL-BURNER.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, HARRY M. DAGGETT, a citizen of the United States, residing at Oakland, in the county of Alameda and State of California, have invented a new and useful Oil-Burner, of which the following is a specification in such full and clear terms as will enable those skilled in the art to construct and use the same.

This invention relates to a burner for crude oil or distillate, and its object is to provide a burner which can be readily installed in any ordinary household stove.

A further object of the invention is to provide means whereby oil will be disintegrated and delivered to the burner in very small particles.

Another object of the invention is to provide means whereby the flame from the burner will be broken up and mixed with the air supplied thereto, and cause a pro-per combustion of the oil.

In the drawings in which the same numeral of reference is applied to the same portion throughout the several views, Figure 1 is an end view of the stove showing the manner of installing the burner therein, Fig. 2 is a plan view of the burner removed from the stove, Fig. 3 is a sectional view through the center of the burner and base to which it is secured.

The numeral 1 represents the stove having a door 2 and legs 3 and 4.

The burner comprises a base plate 5, having upwardly projecting annuli 6 and 7, the latter being higher than the former. The object of said annuli is to provide a channel for the reception of any oil which might accidentally overflow the end of the oil supply pipe. The object of the annulus 7 is to confine the air passing through the plate 5 to a region in proximity to the top of the burner pipe. The oil supply pipe is shown at 8, and passes through plate 9 into which a pipe 10 is secured, said pipe 10 having a flat top 11, on which is placed a cap 12, with a downwardly projecting pin 13, which is for the purpose of holding the cap 12 in place on the top of the oil pipe.

Seated on the top of the annulus 7 is a ring 14, said ring having a second ring 15 secured thereto by means of screws 16. This ring 15 is raised from the top of the ring 14 a short distance by means of lugs on the top Specification of Letters Patent.

of said ring, in order to provide means for the ingress of air to the region adjacent the top of the oil supply pipe. The spacing of the ring 15 away from the ring 14 more effectively mixes the air and fuel. The plate 9 is provided with upwardly projecting legs 17, which space said plate away from the plate 5, bolts 18 securing the same to the said plate 5.

The stove is so arranged that practically all of the air supply to the burner must pass through the center of the plate5 and base in eddies around the cap 12, and out through. the ring 15. The object of spacing the annulus 15 away from the annulus 14 is to provide means for assisting in mixing the particles of oil with the air. WVhile the slots through the rings 14 and 15 lead from the spaces adjacent the burner top into the stove fire box, they assist in mixing the oil and air andin that way promote combustion.

The eddies caused by the air in passing through the burner plate are more or less broken up by the passage of air through the slots between the two rings 14 and 15.

A suitable valve may be placed in the pipe 8 for regulating the supply of oil to the burner.

Having thus described my invention what I claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent of the United States, is as follows:

1. In an oil burner, a plate, an oil supply pipe carried thereby and projecting therethrough; a flange on said plate and sur rounding said pipe; a ring forming a close joint with the flange and having lugs projecting above the top thereof, a second ring secured above the first ring and resting on said lugs; substantially as set forth.

2. In an oil burner, a plate having an opening therethrough, an oil supply pipe carried by said plate and projecting therethrough, two flanges on said plate forming an annular channel for the retention of oil, a ring on the outer flange, and a second ring secured to the first ring and having an inwardly projecting flange, substantially as described.

3. In an oil burner, a plate having an opening therethrough, an oil pipe carried by said plate and having a flat top of substantially the same diameter as the opening through said plate, a loose cap carried by said top, a ring supported by said plate, and my hand this 24 day of March A. D. 1910, a second ring supported a short distance in the presence of the two subscribed Witabove said first mentioned ring whereby an nesses. I air'passage is formed between the two rings HARRY M.
